FAQs

What is TSH and why is it important?

TSH stands for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It is produced by the pituitary gland and tells your thyroid gland how much thyroid hormone to produce. Abnormal TSH levels can indicate an underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism) thyroid.

Is this test a diagnostic test?

No, this test is for screening purposes only. It provides a semi-quantitative analytical result that gives an indication of TSH levels. A secondary analytical test and consultation with a healthcare professional are required for confirmation and diagnosis.

How accurate is the MyHealthChecked Thyroid Rapid Test?

The test has been clinically tested for accuracy. However, as a screening test, its results should be confirmed by a healthcare professional.

Who should not use this test?

This test is designed for adults aged 18 and over. It is not intended for use by children or adolescents. Consult a healthcare professional if you have specific medical conditions or concerns.

What should I do after getting my results?

Scan the QR code on the back of your test pack to view the 'What next' help section. It is crucial to discuss your results with a healthcare professional, especially if they indicate an abnormality or if you have ongoing concerns. Do not start any treatment based solely on this test's results.

Can I use this test if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

This test is not specifically designed or recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please consult with your healthcare provider for appropriate thyroid monitoring during these periods.

How is the blood sample collected?

The blood sample is collected using a simple finger-prick method. You will use a sterile lancet provided in the kit to obtain a small blood sample from your fingertip.

Troubleshooting

Test device shows no result or an invalid result after the specified time.

Ensure the blood sample was correctly applied and sufficient. Re-read the instructions and try again with a new test kit if possible. Contact customer support if issues persist.

Difficulty collecting enough blood.

Warm your hands before collecting the sample. Follow the IFU for proper finger-prick technique. Ensure the lancet is used correctly to obtain an adequate drop of blood.
